Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, by a content management system from a client application on a client device, a unique identifier uniquely identifying a browser application on the client device; mapping, at the content management system, the browser application with the client application based on the unique identifier; and in response to receiving a message from the browser application identified by the unique identifier, sending to the client application a response message, based on the mapping, that relays the message to the client application.

2

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the message is a portion of the message received by the browser application.

3

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein a web interface at the content management system communicates with the browser application.

4

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein in addition to the unique identifier, the message includes metadata identifying a type of information that the client application is expecting or a source or session associated with the message that the client application is expecting.

5

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving a message that includes the unique identifier, wherein the content management system maintains an open communication channel based on the message.

6

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving a message that includes the unique identifier, wherein the message further includes a request for the content management system to relay to the client application any messages which includes a reference to the unique identifier.

7

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving a second message at a web interface of the content management system; and forwarding the second message from the content management system to the client application.

8

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: identifying, by the content management system, a plurality of client devices associated with a user at the content management system; and determining, based on the unique identifier, a first client device of the plurality of client devices to receive the response message.

9

9. A system comprising: one or more processors; a computer-readable medium; and computer-readable instructions, stored on the computer-readable medium, that when executed cause the one or more processors to: receive, by a content management system from a client application on a client device, a unique identifier uniquely identifying a browser application on the client device; map, at the content management system, the browser application with the client application based on the unique identifier; and in response to receiving a message from the browser application identified by the unique identifier, sending to the client application a response message, based on the mapping, that relays the message to the client application.

10

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the message is a portion of the message received by the browser application.

11

11. The system of claim 9, wherein a web interface at the content management system communicates with the browser application.

12

12. The system of claim 9, wherein in addition to the unique identifier, the message includes metadata identifying a type of information that the client application is expecting or a source or session associated with the message that the client application is expecting.

13

13. The system of claim 9, the computer-readable instructions, when executed, further cause the one or more processors to receive a message that includes the unique identifier, wherein the content management system maintains an open communication channel based on the message.

14

14. The system of claim 9, the computer-readable instructions, when executed, further cause the one or more processors to receive the message that includes the unique identifier, wherein the message further includes a request for the content management system to relay to the client application any messages which includes a reference to the unique identifier.

15

15. The system of claim 9, the computer-readable instructions, when executed, further cause the one or more processors to receive a second message at a web interface of the content management system; and forward the second message from the content management system to the client application.

16

16. The system of claim 9, the computer-readable instructions, when executed, further cause the one or more processors to identify, by the content management system, a plurality of client devices associated with a user at the content management system; and determine, based on the unique identifier, a first client device of the plurality of client devices to receive the response message.

17

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: receive, by a content management system from a client application on a client device, a unique identifier uniquely identifying a browser application on the client device; map, at the content management system, the browser application with the client application based on the unique identifier; and in response to receiving a message from the browser application identified by the unique identifier, sending to the client application a response message, based on the mapping, that relays the message to the client application.

18

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein further instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: receive a message that includes the unique identifier, wherein the content management system maintains an open communication channel based on the message.

19

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein further instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: receiving a message that includes the unique identifier, wherein the message further includes a request for the content management system to relay to the client application any messages which includes a reference to the unique identifier.

20

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein further instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: identify, by the content management system, a plurality of client devices associated with a user at the content management system; and determine, based on the unique identifier, a first client device of the plurality of client devices to receive the response message.
